Just as Meng Shu got on the carriage and rushed to the palace with the chamberlain sent by Princess Jiahe, King Wei arrived at the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion to visit Wei Qingyun who was "bedridden".
"She's just a woman, why is she like this?" King Wei looked at Wei Qingyun who stood up and knelt in front of him to salute. He couldn't help but shook his head: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Qingyun stood up, was supported by the servant, and sat on a chair beside him. He looked very weak.
"Are you too sad or were you beaten too hard by the Meng family?" King Wei frowned.
Wei Qingyun is his reading companion, and the two have been friends since childhood.
For his sake, those boys from the Meng family shouldn't be cruel.
"Replying to the prince, Wei Chen's injury is not serious. He accidentally fell when he got up last night, which aggravated the injury." Wei Qingyun said while cupping his hands.
Naturally, King Wei didn't believe what he said.
"Those bastards from the Meng family are so ruthless, and they don't take this king seriously at all." King Wei's face became a little ugly.
Beating a dog depends on the owner.
Who in the capital doesn't know that Wei Qingyun is his?
To dare to be so cruel is to slap him in the face.
Wei Qingyun heard this and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. They are not to blame for this matter. It was the minister's fault first, which caused the marriage between the two families to be ruined. It damaged the reputation of the British government and Shu'er's reputation, and caused her to be raped." It’s a joke, if a few more beatings can save everything, Wei Chen is willing.”
It's a pity that God did not give him such an opportunity.
The Meng family has a fierce temperament, and Meng Shu is a girl who can't tolerate dirt in her eyes.
He once told Meng Shu in a letter that he would not marry anyone other than her and would never take a concubine in this life. After all, he had failed her.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change her mind.
"You really... amaze me!" King Wei couldn't help but patted Wei Qingyun on the shoulder: "You used to be very arrogant, but I didn't expect that you would give in to such a degree for a woman."
Wei Qingyun lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
"Isn't it good for you to follow my example and walk among thousands of flowers without even a single leaf touching you?"
King Wei laughed as he spoke: "Look at my backyard. There are so many beauties. Who wouldn't envy you? Have you seen which woman has taken advantage of me in the past few years? No matter how beautiful a woman is, she can only be pampered for two years. That way, there is nothing to be surprised about. I will send you some stunning beauties in a few days to relieve your boredom..."
Before Wei Wen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wei Qingyun: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it!"
"You stinky boy, you are the only one who dares to refuse my kindness, saying that if it were anyone else, the whip in my hand would not be a vegetarian." King Wei said and laughed: "That's all, you have to be that crazy person. , I am also willing to fulfill your wish.”
Wei Qingyun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
King Wei lowered his voice and said: "The queen mother told me privately that since the emperor's brother took the elixir refined by Master Bai Xian, his body has become weaker and weaker day by day. He will not live for more than a year. As long as the emperor's brother dies, , I will be able to ascend the throne. When the time comes, let alone Meng Shu, I will give you as many beauties as you want."
"Weichen doesn't want anyone else. Please ask the prince to issue an imperial edict and grant marriage to Weichen and Shu'er." Wei Qingyun knelt down and kowtowed as he said.
"Okay!" King Wei smiled and nodded, his expression suddenly turned serious: "If I hadn't stopped you that day, and if your mother had helped you make the decision, you would have been unable to keep your position as the heir apparent. Don't you know the Lu family? How powerful is the old man? He can fight against all the ministers by himself, but his son also joined the battle later. The father and son simply said, "Kill the West." They favored some of the courtiers of your Wei family, and they didn't even say a single word about them. Unable to speak."
"Shu'er's grandfather is indeed very powerful." Wei Qingyun said with a bitter smile.
"If it weren't for my noble status and my mother's help in speaking up, the old man would definitely succeed. When you see the Lu family in the future, it's best to avoid them. They are even less easy to mess with than those in the British Duke's family."
Military generals, come and go, like to speak with their fists, unlike those civil servants who kill people with simple heads and kill people with their hearts.
King Wei said and patted Wei Qingyun on the shoulder: "But since I am the one who makes the decision for you, you don't have to worry too much. Recuperate well and slowly take control of the palace guards. When I ascend the throne, you will never I’ll treat you badly.”
In fact, he has the help of his mother, his wife's family is also very powerful, and he controls the military power in the suburbs of Beijing. It is not a big problem whether he has the help of the guards in the palace.
After all, as long as the emperor brother dies, the throne will definitely belong to him, and Lao Xi and Lao Wu have no ability to compete with him.
The imperial brother had already said that he was not going to die soon, and sooner or later an imperial edict would be issued to pass the throne to him.
However, after not sitting in this position for a day, he felt a little uneasy, so he had to sit on the dragon chair early to feel at ease.
Holding the Guards in your hands also adds an extra layer of security.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Qingyun quickly thanked him.
"There is something that I don't understand. Don't you like Meng Shu in your heart? Why don't you marry Fei Qing? Why did you get involved with your cousin? And you have ended up in this situation now. You don't know the rumors outside..." Wei Wang did not continue.
He had to save some face for his good brother.
Wei Qingyun's face was already ugly.
"Two months ago, I went to pay my respects to my mother. As a result, there were only Liang Shuang'er and her maid in the house. I sat and waited for my mother to come back. Unexpectedly, that bitch actually put a love potion in the tea snacks my mother made for me. I We had physical contact with her, and from then on, she used this as a threat to let me keep her outside."
When Wei Qingyun said this, he clenched his fist tightly: "On the day of the wedding, her maid came to report that she cut her wrists and committed suicide. I was afraid that this matter would cause a big problem and Shu'er would misunderstand, so I rushed over. Unexpectedly, The incense in that room..."
Wei Qingyun really regrets it.
If he had known this, he should have dealt with Liang Shuang'er quietly long ago, and the trouble would not have reached the level it is today.
In the past, he always felt that everything was under his control. In addition, Liang Shuang'er was his cousin after all. She had lived in the house for many years and the two had grown up as childhood sweethearts. Even if he didn't like her, he didn't want her life.
He wanted to wait until things calmed down a bit before sending her out of the capital quietly.
In the end, that bitch plotted against him.
"You are so kind to a woman!" King Wei shook his head.
"Weichen sent someone to investigate. Liang Shuang'er did not put any medicine in the incense that day. Someone did it deliberately. The purpose was to ruin Wei Chen and Shu'er's marriage." Wei Qingyun said in a deep voice.
"Has the mastermind been found out?" King Wei frowned tightly.
"Never!" Wei Qingyun shook his head.
"You take good care of your injuries and leave this matter to the secret guards around me to investigate."
King Wei stood up as he spoke, with a smile on his face: "Sister Jiahe suddenly became interested for some reason and summoned Meng Shu into the palace. I will meet the eldest lady of the Meng family for you. I would like to see it." , What kind of beauty is it that makes you miss her so much?”
